Potential Landing Spots for NFL Draft’s Top OT, Laremy Tunsil

At this point in the draft process, it’s hard to get away from the name Laremy Tunsil. He joined the University of Mississippi as an offensive tackle super recruit and somehow managed to surpass the high expectations set for him.

In a three-year career, he allowed only two sacks while playing in college football’s murderers’ row, the Southeastern Conference. He was suspended for the first half of his junior season due to NCAA violations, a non-factor in his draft perception, which forced him to go head-to-head with two of the top pass-rushers in college football while still being rusty.

How did he respond? By completely shutting down Texas A&M’s Myles Garrett and Auburn’s Carl Lawson. Tunsil has received a lot of praise, but the assumption that he’ll come off the board with the first overall pick has underplayed the storyline of other cities where he might fit well.

As of this moment, Play the Draft, a site that creates a big board from a user-based stock market function, ranks Tunsil as the top player in the 2015 NFL draft. To figure out where this elite prospect might land, we’ll analyze the personnel of those franchises drafting with a top-five pick in this draft, as well as trade-up candidates.

2016 college baseball top 25 and RPI: Ole Miss climbs into the top 10

There was a lot of talk about Ole Miss’ weekend series against a bad Grambling State team having a negative impact on its national ranking, particularly in the RPI. But after sweeping what turned out to be a surprisingly competitive Tigers team, the Rebs have shot up across the board. They jumped up to No. 3 in the RPI and climbed into the top 10 at both D1 Baseball (No. 9) and Perfect Game (No. 10). Baseball America put them at No. 12.

That’s just as much, if not more, about what happened outside of Oxford. Two top 10 teams, NC State and Oregon, lost series over the weekend that opened the door for Ole Miss to slide up. Oregon, by the way, was swept by Mississippi State, who finally showed why they began the season so highly ranked. The Dawgs climbed to No. 15 in all of the major poles.

Throw in unanimous No. 1 Florida, Vandy, A&M, LSU, South Carolina and Arkansas, and you have eight SEC teams scattered through the polls. That number will drop as teams start beating up on each other in conference play this weekend, but damn.
